127.0.0.1 / IIS Issue

We've got a 2k3 R2 server running IIS. The server has a static 192.x IP
address. When I open up IE and type in http://servername/ IIS responds
normally. When I open IE and type in http://localhost/ I get "The page
cannot be found". Pinging "servername" returns the 192.x IP address,
pinging "localhost" returns the 127 address.

It's almost like the 127 IP cannot respond in IIS, but it responds to pings
fine. We set up servers all the time and have never seen this. It's our
first server to arrive with 2k3 R2. Windows Firewall is disabled.

Thanks in advance.
